Moroccan Tomato Prices Dropped by 70% in W43 Due to the Heat Wave

Morocco experienced a heat wave in W43, which directly impacted tomato production by leading to overproduction and shortened tomato shelf life. The supply was so high that the price of tomatoes from farmers dropped 70% to USD 6.00/30kg crate in W43, from USD 20.00/30kg crate around W42. However, supply is expected to decrease in the coming weeks due to a decrease in production following the damage caused by the heat wave.
